i am an old img. i am studying form old kaplan books (2005). i figured that if i studied from current FA and current UW and online NBME then i would be good to go. i guess the most important thing here is to grasp the concepts.
but now i keep reading about people who just wrote the exams saying to focus most on kaplan......i hope i am not screwed. i have done the books twice already and im writing my exams in december. if anybody can help me shed some light in this matter i would highly appreciate it. my prep is kaplan+uw+Fa+NBME +kap qbank (if i have the time for it)

I checked personally -the difference between 2008 and 1010 kaplan is just one or 2 pages

Hi 1128,
how is your performance in UW that measures your preparation .... don't worry about the edition of kaplen you use the concepts are the same in ALL edition
try to do UW toter mode untimed combined with FA on subjects you read , that will help you to link things together ... and these feelings are totally normal , i think the problem will be if you didn't feel like that
Gooooooooooood luck
